The CaPS concept is unique among private equity investors in the Nordic countries. CaPS is above all a member-driven concept. Our member companies play a central role in the selection of sourcing categories and partners. All partners are selected in a competitive procurement process, which includes all members interested in a specific category. Our approach is to aggregate wherever possible from laptops to vehicles.

For our vendors and partners we offer an excellent opportunity to grow, expand the customer base and build long-lasting customer relations. We offer also an interesting big customer platform to test new business ideas.
